Creating an editor that is not freeform [message #212152]

Hello,

I have a graphical editor that was manually created using GEF. I am
currently investigating whether or not I might be able to use GMF to
automatically generate my diagram.

A major problem I see right away is the generated-GEF editor is always
freeform (i.e. users have the ability to place items anywhere). However,
my current editor uses ScalableRootEditPart, not
ScalableFreeformRootEditPart. So basically, I need to have a fixed diagram
(i.e. entire canvas is simply a top-level node with compartments).

Is there a way to use GMF to create a diagram like this that is not
freeform?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Mark,

You can either modify GMF-generated code once to use different EditPart for
your diagram or you can create/use custom GMF templates and get this code
generated.
